My journey to self understanding and acceptance has indeed been a long one, but I want to share my story of hope and ultimately success with the world. I have struggled with depression and anxiety my entire life, and until last year I thought I was unworthy of love or even happiness. I have learned through sharing my experiences and feelings with those I care about that I am not alone or unworthy of love. Everyone who truly cares about me wanted and continues to desire helping me, and even when I fall back into dark holes I have my support system to pull me out. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to have a support system as wonderful as mine; however, websites such as this exist. My goal is to show people that "getting well" does not mean you will never struggle again, because there are certainly days where I am back where I started and questioning what I am doing and how I am here. It's how you handle those days that shows you are in a better place, and a better version of yourself. Using this mindset I have now been self-harm free for almost 8 months, and have cultivated a strong and healthy romantic relationship with my best friend. There is hope for everyone, and a future for all. Just don't lose sight of it. Good luck.
